Outcomes experienced by some Industry Members

Visibility of Policy Thinking

"There are plenty of places I can learn about industry trends, but hearing how policy makers and regulators are responding to them is invaluable"

Emerging Markets

"The IIC has given me a view of the evolution of policy frameworks in emerging markets. Useful insights when rolling out new products or services"

Healthy Tension

"The non-partisan platform creates an adult, academic environment where health tension and differing opinions can co-exist"

Relationships

"I can have a cup of coffee with a regulator that would normally be hard to meet with"
